Konnichi-wa, Minoru-san!I've been twice in Tokyo (August 2009 and 2012) to give support to our Japanese colleagues (situated at Ota-ku), but I assume we didn't met there when I was strolling with my camera through Asakusa, Shibuya, Shinshuku and the many other interesting Cities of Tokyo! Maybe next time... (I was the German with the NIKON DSLR... ;-)Uwe.

有り難うございます arigatō gozaimasu, Minoru-san!I'll give you a call when planning my next trip to Tokyo......but in the meanwhile my Japanese colleagues are well-trained, so that there's not too much hope for a third trip to Japan. New Japanese colleagues joining the (German) company come to me to Germany for a basic training in work- & toolholding as well as robot grippers. --> http://www.jp.schunk.com/schunk/index.html?country=JPN&r=1
